Halion purge

[682]

If you have 10 tracks of Halion Sonic SE going in Cubase and want to reduce ram usage( like you can in Kontakt..)
you use Purge and update sample pool. I don't see that in Halion...where is that in Halion??
and is it possible to purge/update all the tracks of Halion at once?

[Paj]

I don't use HALion Sonic SE3 very often and I have gobs of RAM on my system so I'm not sure about replicating Kontakt's purge features but HALion's DDS (Dynamic Disk Streaming) features might be a helpful approach for you to explore:

Also, contacting Steinberg support might help. I recently re-installed all of my Steinberg stuff on another system and probably would still be cussin' if it wasn't for the counter-FAQ advice they gave me that worked. If you can navigate the labyrinth on the website to contact a support person, my recent experience is that they'll hang in there with you. It was not an instantaneous process but the back-and-forth was fruitful. You can submit a support ticket here:

Good luck!

I have seen the options menus. Maybe that's all there is. I hope Steinberg updates that issue with a new gui
sometime.
btw. I have Sonic se and the libraries that come with it. Limited. But I would like to use Sonic as a standalone app too.
But its not in my launchpad. How do I get the stand alone version going on my Mac??

I use a PC so I'm not sure this applies to the Mac but I think the installer had a checkbox for the standalone.

BTW, I came across this free muted piano library for Halion/Sonic SE:
